Saturday night I was playing from the cpgf's and was getting terrible notchieness in game. Movement was slow and blocky and I had a terrible time moving around. This has only started in Beta 4.
Some-one else mentioned this in-game, cri.tter I think. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might be? I didn't notice it Friday night, although I wasn't on very long before I was uncerimoniously .....

I do what I can.

If you're running an ati card, type "ati_npatch 0" on the console. It disables that ati patch valve had to release a year or so ago that turned on some ATI feature. I have noticed that with this version of NS, all it tends to do is just drop my frames to an unplayable area. I've disabled it and it seems like it has helped, wont really be able to tell until I get into a game.

It has worked for me and the issue I was having (even though on some maps like eclispe, I am still getting crappy frames. I am guessing its because the map is bloated and everything, even things not in direct view, is getting rendered). Try it though.

Darkilla: In short, NS is pretty much really fast chess. With guns. Apophis: I haven't seen anyone say that SM's are better than non-SMs. Nordbomber: This is THE first server I've seen where either side can comeback from out of seemingly nowhere with the right teamwork. en4rcment: I have NEVER experienced the type of gameplay that I have found here. Nightly I am amazed at the personalities and gaming talent. Zephyr: Apophis is clearly a highly sophisticated self-aware AI construct that runs on a highly modified toaster oven in Wyzcrak's basement.

I have nothing running in the background that I've added. Don't run anything, AIM, Messenger or the like. I stop almost all applications that are not needed. Remeber, this is at the cpgf's and she's not had any issues until Saturday night.
